How long have you been pulling down?
6.5 years.

Any info you want to share about yourself, your hobbies, your spouse, or significant other, what you do in the off-season, etc?
When I'm not climbing I like to play basketball, run, hike and do yoga. I climb year-round so I have no real off-season, but I usually boulder in the winter and climb routes in the summer.

Any pets?
Golden retriever, and 3 cats.

Any results or highlights you want to tell us about?
I came in 12th Place at a PCA in Salt Lake, and got 3rd Place in one of the USCCA big 8 events at The Spot. I climbed a project this year at Arthur's that I had been working on for awhile.

What's your best moment so far in climbing or bouldering?
I'm not sure if I've had one paticular one but I've for sure had a lot of great ones.

What drives you to climb or boulder?
I love climbing because it's always different, and I'm always learning. I just like to go out and have fun with friends and find adventure.

What are your goals in climbing or bouldering?
I'd like to climb more routes in general this summer. There are some things that I would like to do at Rifle, like The 7 PM Show. I want to climb some more of the really cool problems at Rocky Mountain National Park, but my main goal is that I just want to keep having fun.

Who has been an idol or a mentor for you in climbing or bouldering?
I always have looked up to people like Chris Sharma, and Tommy Caldwell because I like the way they represent climbing.

What's your favorite type of climb or problem?
I don't think I really have a favorite, but I really like tricky sequences that you don't see right away. I also like really clean independent lines and I really enjoy dynamic problems.

If you could be anywhere pulling down on rock right now, where would you be?
Ceuse, because I haven't been there and the routes look amazing.

Any weaknesses?
Pinches and body tension.

If you could be any super hero, who would you be?
Superman because you could fly.
